DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Catherine by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Catherine:
Nellis-478 and Nellis-85 appear to represent the same person because: Please merge these profiles for Catherine. Her baptism was in 1753, so that would be the correct date to use.
Only real conflict is on date of birth and I am not sure where the 1748 date came from. Seems to be consensus that she was daughter by second wife and first wife didn't die til 1750.
And Trinity Church baptism cited here shows Maria Barbara, 2nd wife, as mother and baptism date of 1753.
Only place where I could find 1748 was Find A Grave. I have written to the manager of that memorial suggesting a correction based on baptism.
